Posted May 31, 201015 yr Any albums where only One or No singles were released? I have Westlife's recent album "Where we are" which spanned only one single which was "What about now" in late 2009. Another one I can think of is "Today" of Mel B's awful "LA State of Mind" album. Any other examples?
May 31, 201015 yr Pink Floyd scarcely released singles, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals and Wish You Were Here didn't have any singles released from it, and the Wall, their double album, only had 1 single off it. Led Zeppelin never released a single in the UK, bar a re-release of Whole Lotta Love in 1997. Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers is the most recent example I can think of.
May 31, 201015 yr Norah Jones only released 'Chasing Pirates' off her 4th album 'The Fall' in October last year. Edited May 31, 201015 yr by soundseekerz
May 31, 201015 yr Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers is the most recent example I can think of. That did have a single, I'm sure Can't remember what it was called though
May 31, 201015 yr Enya is good for this game. Usually only has 1 single or none. Last 2 albums "and winter came" and "very best of" didn't have any I don't think. Kate Bush's "aerial" only had 1 too I think. Quite a lot of GH only get one but not sure that counts in this game
May 31, 201015 yr Selena Gomez & The Scene - Kiss & Tell. Had 2 in the US, but only Naturally here in the UK. Also, Kelly Clarkson's My December only spawned Never Again here in the UK

May 31, 201015 yr That did have a single, I'm sure Can't remember what it was called though It was only a radio single, it was never released
May 31, 201015 yr Pink Floyd scarcely released singles, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals and Wish You Were Here didn't have any singles released from it, and the Wall, their double album, only had 1 single off it. Led Zeppelin never released a single in the UK, bar a re-release of Whole Lotta Love in 1997. But... if they'd never released one, how could they *re*-release it?
May 31, 201015 yr Selena Gomez & The Scene - Kiss & Tell. Had 2 in the US, but only Naturally here in the UK. Also, Kelly Clarkson's My December only spawned Never Again here in the UK I'm pretty sure Kelly also released Don't Waste Your Time. At the very least it was released to radio and music TV channels. Kate Bush only released "King Of The Mountain" from Aerial I think.
May 31, 201015 yr U2 - Zooropa amazingly had 1 single and that was months after its release Edited May 31, 201015 yr by toneski

Kate Bush's "aerial" only had 1 too I think. Quite a lot of GH only get one but not sure that counts in this game Historically, GH albums only ever contained singles that had already been released. It's only in more recent years that they have contained one or two new tracks - released as singles at the time of the album coming out or in the months afterwards - as a way of getting fans to buy it. Those one or teo extra tracks generally didn't appear on any other album, unlike all the other singles. There are exceptions to this but that's generally the case.
May 31, 201015 yr Manics: Jackie Collins Existential Question Time was a single in my books..It had a video and it got some airplay. Edited May 31, 201015 yr by SKOB
May 31, 201015 yr Manics: Jackie Collins Existential Question Time was a single in my books..It had a video and it got some airplay. That's the one! I liked that song.
May 31, 201015 yr U2 - Zoorope amazingly had 1 single and that was months after its release THAT must be one of the most random campaigns, especially for a band with such a consistent singles history. mind you, eventually they saw fit to give Get On Your Boot a release. THAT was probably even odder.
May 31, 201015 yr Many alternative acts seem to trend towards one or no singles because it's all about internet and blogs etc, not airplay or video.
May 31, 201015 yr Whoever said Selena Gomez, her album just got released five weeks ago. Of course she's only going to have one single out! And as for SuBo, hers wasn't actually released as a single it was just heavily downloaded from her album due to the XF performances.
